"It's all in your mind" is my least favorite statement No shit. Brain cancer is also all in your mind. It's true but that doesn't mean it's fixable.

All the unused Lower Decks episode titles @bradwinters.bsky.social and I argued about can finally be realized.

I made this meme some years ago and it just popped up in my phone photo memories and… welp.

Damn, I didn’t notice this last week. Alan Bradley, the author of the wonderful Flavia de Luce books, died last week at 87. My friend @mxs510.bsky.social strongly urged me to read the books and if I remember correctly, gifted me the first one to get things going. May his memory be a blessing.

How do they rise up?

Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

Well, this is delightful.

and a very happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to you all

Read this. It’s lovely.

Hey all, if you don't know about @romancingthevote.com (or if you DO know and don't know it's about to pop off) now is the time! We're raising money for voting rights because fuck John Roberts, that's why.

Correct, I started transition in 2000 and "transman/transwoman" or "trans-man/trans-woman" were in common usage within my community at that time

I'm trying to decide whether this response is too sarcastic, not sarcastic enough, or just the right level of sarcasm before I hit the "continue" button.

And nobody ever seems to think about how non-binary people always have to misgender ourselves to use any bathroom most of the time. I would really like to see the end of gendered bathrooms period.

This is why I get so frustrated with "you want THIS guy in the women's room?" followed by a pic of a trans man as some kinda "gotcha". No, they don't want trans men in EITHER bathroom. Trans men get zero options.

Thank you to the Democratic voters of Senate District 7 for voting for our campaign and participating in a record breaking primary turnout! Our campaign received more votes than any Democratic primary campaign in the history of our district in spite of being outspent almost 3 to 1. 1/

Next week is the Scripps National Spelling Bee! It's one of my favorite times of year and my absolute favorite sports event. I usually make something Bee-related the week of the event and tried to finish before the champion(s) were determined. Here's a thread of things I've made in the past.

btw if you think people shouldn't use the r word, and/or regret doing so as a youth, maybe apply that same logic to using "psychotic" to mean horrible, murderous, terrifying, lacking empathy, dangerous, or stupid 🤝

Lookit me, getting editing done.

Over 300 detainees at Delaney Hall signed an S.O.S. letter about the horrid conditions they are facing: rotten food, lack of medical attention, and so much more. Yesterday we went to inspect Delaney and that letter is correct. The solution is closing Delaney and abolishing ICE.

The informed consent forms for going on HRT should have had a checkbox for "I understand that I may lose the ability to lift an air conditioner unaided, and that hot days will continue to happen." (I still would have signed it, mind you.) #DontItAlwaysSeemAsThoughYouDontKnowWhatYouveGotTillItsGone

this is a masterpiece

I also got to contribute some annotations to this! This book is really something special. Dozens of queer and trans artists, writers, and scholars added their thoughts and experiences to this book — expanding and broadening what was already a seminal piece of queer literature.

Dear everyone talking shit about "The South" like it's all one thing and where all the racism comes from: DT is a New Yorker.

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov my child was placed in a preschool that is too far for us to get to due to an error on the MySchools website (one HOUR round trip TWICE A DAY) and no one at NYCPS seems willing to help correct the error.

The author on my last book proactively gave me a timeline and it was very useful. 😊

LRT: Of the signs I brought to the last No Kings march, this was the one I overheard people admiring. 😊

I honestly hope at least 90% of currently elected Democrats lose their jobs the next available chance in favor of people who actually believe power can be used to shape needed change for the people they're allegedly meant to represent. It's our only hope.

Little Women Mostly Harmless Lord of Light I actually did a 100-book version of this last year with more thought put into it, though not confined to novels.

1. Hey folks: My pal (and recent Oscar nominee!) Pamela Ribon is making a documentary on Texas' UIL One Act Play competition, where teens compete statewide for theatrical glory. She's hoping for donations for post-production work and @scalzifamily.foundation is matching funds. www.oneactfilm.com

I misread an email subject line of "Your autopay is scheduled for [date]" as "Your autopsy is scheduled for [date]" and felt mildly relieved for a moment.

That moment when you hit alt–left arrow instead of control–left arrow and lose the entire thread you've spent the last 90 minutes working on. 😭

Instead of sleeping, I am working full time all day and then making cute videos with a lot of seagulls all night. Please send me money. Tom Suozzi is the worst and I am competent and fun. www.votewelch.com

There are approximately 2.8 million trans people in the US. That means FOURTEEN PERCENT of American trans people have moved across state lines in the past 18 months.

My toxic trait is that I am insufferable about reminding people about my birthday. Which is this coming Sunday. I'm just saying.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.
